Capitol Police: No Internal Discipline for Officer Who Fatally Shot Jan. 6 Protester
Newsmax ^ | Aug 23 | Newsmax

Posted on 08/23/2021 11:24:18 AM PDT by RandFan

The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol "will not be facing internal discipline," Capitol Police said Monday.

After interviewing multiple witnesses and reviewing all the available evidence:

"[The Department's] Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) determined the officer’s conduct was lawful and within Department policy, which says an officer may use deadly force only when the officer reasonably believes that action is in the defense of human life, including the officer’s own life, or in the defense of any person in immediate danger of serious physical injury.

"The officer in this case, who is not being identified for the officer’s safety, will not be facing internal discipline."

The announcement was anticipated after reports Friday that the officer, who has not been publicly identified, had been exonerated in the departmental probe.

We investigated ourselves and found no fault.

How convenient. No identification. But if a cop shoots an actual rioter, his name is splashed all over before the perp is even arrives at the morgue.

Nobody killed the pinko protestors who occupied Wisconsin’s capitol building in 2011.

The election protestors in 2021 certainly didn’t expect to be murdered when entering our nation’s capitol.

Makes sense. Ashli was a white chick and a Trump supporter. That’s enough for the government to authorize “termination with extreme prejudice”.

They probably gave him a medal. Quietly.
Now we get to watch Aaron Babbitt’s lawsuit be dismissed.

Perhaps the “Protestor’s” family will have some success in an EXTERNAL investigation.

In what “danger” was that lying SOB?

Tin plated cops and Biden’s thugs coming down
We’re finally on our own

This summer I hear the drumming
Ashli’s dead in DC’s hole
Gotta get down to it
Cops are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And found Ashli dead on the ground?

How can you run when you know?

This summer I hear the drumming
One dead in DC’s hole.

If that pic of that murderer aiming at Ashli Babbitt coming through that window with that Antifa/BLM thug standing right there (Chapman) seeing it all happen and he was sprung from jail doesn’t scream for justice then nothing will! I hope when we take this country back some of these imjustices can be re-addressed!

Screw the departmental trial, I want a trial!

You don’t get to murder an unarmed woman posing NO THREAT to you and not be subject to an actual trial with jurors!

They announced that the shooting was justified and no charges would be filed a couple of months ago. Them and the DOJ both.

The coward feared for his life from an unarmed 5’6” woman?

With a daypack?

Never give a guy like that a badge and a gun. He’ll shoot everyone.

If you're police you do. Under most circumstances.

I and my family share your “hope” for the future.

Who will investigate the FBI?

Sung to ‘Ohio’

Tin plated cops and Biden’s thugs coming down
We’re really on our own

This summer I hear the drumming
Ashli’s dead in DC’s hole
Gotta get down to it
Cops are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And found Ashli dead on the ground?

How can you run when you know?
